I'm amazed nobody mentioned shoveling. That's certainly my least favorite right now.

In a state of insanity :)
cooking hands down. I can cook I just hate to cook. So most stuff is basic. I do love to go out to eat that way I dont have to be the one cooking the stuff. enough said.

Happily!!!
(Now we just have to figure out how to move you to Memphis
) Most days that would be a lovely arrangement imo!

I was quite emotional when I got home from class a little while ago (blaming this one on pms
) And I actually broke down and folded laundry
People that know me can always tell if I'm angry or upset because that's the only time I'll automatically clean EVERYTHING (and fold laundry) on a binge

Definitely the dishes.
When we bought the house, DH and I decided the dishwasher was a must because we're both awful at doing them.

Great topic!

At the moment, mine is the litter boxes!! Sorry, Evie! See, I'm pregnant, so not supposed to... But hubby does a LOUSY job! So sometimes I have to... And take all these INSANE precautions (even though I doubt there's really much of a risk), which makes it not only scary and something I shouldn't do anyway, but then makes it a pain, too!!


Normally, and get this... It's cleaning the (my...) hair out of the drains.
I swear I shed worse than both dogs and the cat combined... So always have to clear the hair out. We have those hair catching things... Just makes me puke! And to think, all that was on my head not that long ago.


How's that for an odd ball chore?? It's just my pet peeve, and hubby has the hardest time understanding...

Ummm...Ashley, want a job???


For all the dish hating folk out there, let me say 2 words....PAPER PLATES!! (I hate them to, so that's why we should have stock in a paper company).

It's the litterboxes. I've always hated it, but ever since my gastric-band surgery, it's become much more unpleasant, because bad smells make me nauseous very easily now. I have to wear a surgical mask and glove up like I'm doing hazardous waste disposal...


The kitties are well worth it, though.

well i don't like shredding but sadly it's necessary due to the risk of identity theft. i don't like cleaning floors too much either
laundry's a drag


litter is easy imo. the other tasks i find easy are scrubbing the commode, cleaning the sinks, cleaning the inside of the refrigerator. dusting is okay for me.

oh i have a funny story. sort of. back in 1994 i lived with 2 others. jay and stacy. stacy and i actually liked doing dishes (we had no dishwasher). jay hated dishes, so he never had to even wash a fork because the sink would always be empty because either stacy or i always did the dishes to relieve stress. jay had it goooooood LOL (come to think of it, i dont remember jay doing much housework at all!) nowadays i just run a dishwasher.

I'm definitely one of the people who can throw laundry in, move it to the dryer.. that doesn't bother me at all.

but I HATE folding it! Usually I do all of the laundry and my girlfriend folds most of it.

Usually I just hate the folding of the laundry, not now that ive moved to an apartment with no washer dryer i have to go to the dreaded LAUNDROMAT *cries a little* i hate hate hate it.

And i know we were supposed to list just one, but number two on my list is dishes. I offer the hubby to swap all chores for him to just do the dishes and take out the trash. Ill clean, dust, vaccume, do the bathroom bed room and office, and sweep if he will JUST do the dishes!
